Methods to check vehicle plate number restrictions: 1. Download the Amap app on your phone, open it, and click on the profile icon in the upper left corner to access the personal center; 2. Once in the personal center interface, scroll down the page to find the "Car Owner Services" section; 3. Click on "Car Owner Services," and a "Restriction Query" icon will appear on the interface—click to enter; 4. Enter the vehicle's license plate number and the city you want to check, then click search; 5. The query results will appear on the screen after searching. Vehicle plate number restrictions are a traffic policy implemented to alleviate urban traffic congestion. On odd-numbered days, only private vehicles with license plates ending in an odd number are allowed on the road, while on even-numbered days, only those ending in an even number are permitted.
As an ordinary office worker who commutes by car frequently, I find checking the traffic restriction rules quite simple. I usually use mobile apps like Gaode Map – just search 'traffic restriction query' and it will show today's tail number restrictions and zone details. Alternatively, you can follow the local traffic police's WeChat official account and subscribe to push notifications, as they update the rules daily. On a computer, you can also visit official websites like the Beijing Traffic Police site and enter the date to check the restricted tail numbers. The key is to develop a habit of checking before heading out and not to be lazy. Last time I forgot to check before a business trip to Shanghai and got fined 100 yuan – a painful lesson. I recommend setting a phone alarm reminder; most apps have this feature to avoid unnecessary fines. Traffic policies can change easily during congestion, so regular checks ensure safety.
